Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Ryecroft without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Ryecroft: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bradford.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we’re called out for in Ryecroft
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Ryecroft?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
